RE: [LegacyUG] Citing Sources and Getting Them to Print Properly

I believe the TMG does allow you to choose between Mills' sourcing techniques and those advocated by Lackey in Cite Your Sources. Haven't used TMG, though, so don't know how it works in practice. The learning curve is just too high for me. Carol Tamblyne wrote: The book states the citation

Hi Tam, Don't know what the book says - I haven't read it! However the output which you are getting is correct for the way you have entered your sources, in fact, coincidentally, it is the method I use (I hadn't read the tips either). BTW Legacy version 6 gives the same output. To my mind

Hi, Carol! That may be exactly where I'm missing the boat -- I thought Mills *was* the standard. If this, too, is in flux, then that sure explains a lot! :-) And thanks to everyone else who answered. I'm still not sure what to do, but I can see I'm not alone, either! ;-) Tam On
